Founder here.

One, it's important have several different common spaces that are used in different ways.

Two, it's about setting specific guidelines about how those spaces are used.

Three, it's about selecting for people who tend to be inclusive rather than exclusive / cliquey.

So far so good.

Lots of things - mostly that we have the entire buildings rather than single units, which is particularly important in NYC where we're operating right now.

We also partner with real estate funds and investors to purchase vacant buildings rather than leasing units off the market.

Talks on startup hiring always refer to "A players", "B players" and "C players". I was speaking in that context.

The post is focused on 20-somethings who want to live in an urban area. Manhattan is somewhat analogous to San Francisco; it tends to have a high concentration of young people who want to work in tech and startups.
